Could someone explain how the new APIs that are being proposed by Google/Apple will actually be delivered to Android handsets? I'm running a 2 year old Android device which generally gets security updates 2-3 months behind Google devices. Will I be at the mercy of my phone manufacturer before I'll be able to use the new Google/iOS apps?
